TRUTH_TV
TRUTH_TV brought together several artists to discuss their work exploring the nature of truth as represented by television.

"To distinguish enemies from friends we have to depend on our own personal interpretation of fragmented pieces of (visual) information sent to us by the media. In principle every single piece of third hand information is a lie..." Geert Mul's (Rotterdam) project MATCH MAKER applies algorithms to pixel to find matches between thousands of satellite broadcast images, pairing images that share formal composition similarities. Mul's work questions the role of composition and its role in constructing truth within the television frame.

The Yes Men are culture jammers that have successfully sold lies to the media. They have recently passed themselves off as representatives on BBC news of Dow Chemicals, the owner of Union Carbide, and claimed responsibility for the Bhopal Disaster.

Perry Bard is a New York artist who's working with electronic media. Her recent public video installations are site specific and address cultural history and memory often involving local community members in the production process. Bard's current work is about the US intervention in Iraq, and has examined the role of the media in the US elections.

With Geert Mul (artist), Perry Bard (artist), and The Yes Men (culture jammers). Moderated by Stephen Kovats (V2_Institute for the Unstable Media).
